Has anyone else experienced the center part of their Aero Hub Caps Popping out after driving?

I've had my Lucid for almost a month, and the noticed the center hub caps were a little offset after the first time I drove it. Everytime I push them in and drive it, they're always popped out. They snap in tight, and all four of them do this.

I'm worried about losing them. I haven't taken the hub caps off to inspect the centers, but I reached out to my Lucid repair center, and was told I just need to press them in really hard... They won't go in any further than they are in now.

Anyone have any tips?

That seems very odd. Only a guess, but are the caps rotated to the proper position to clear the valve stems?

This usually happens to mine any time I drive in excess of 100 mph. A little annoying, for sure, but unless you're really pushing it it's unlikely they'll completely detach. If you're planning on doing any driving over 120 mph I would recommend removing them, as they can potentially fly off.

Based on the photos it doesn't look like the aero cap is rubbing on the valve stem, but definitely something owners with 20" wheels should be aware of. I think at most that would just make that one section not seat properly, which is usually visually apparent, and not the center section.
 
Thanks for the responses. I may try to take one off this weekend and see if there is something on the backside that I can do to make them snap in a little tighter. When I drove home last night, only one of the 4 popped out. I try to keep it at a modest 80mph with this car :)
